As an owner of a .300 blackout rifle I use for deer/hog hunting, I am always on the lookout for decent priced, quality supersonic ammo (I am currently not suppressing but that may change - come on HPA!). Anyway, I prefer 125 grain since my scope has been calibrated for that load. I use Nosler and Accubond rounds for hunting and try to stick with SMK, Speer TNT or FMJ for plinking to try to save some money.
I have tried some of the bulk reman offerings as well as typical manufacturers such as Hornady and Fiocchi. Sometime the ammo has been unreliable (remanned) or just plain stinking expensive!
Well I ran into Modern Arms International https://secure.modernarmsinternational.com/ as I was browsing the web and thought I'd try out 250 rounds of their 125 grain Speer TNT rounds (all new components) at only $0.53/rd! https://secure.modernarmsinternational.com/shop/new-brass-125gr-speertnt-supersonic-250-rounds-copy/
Took the newly arrived ammo up to Freestate today and put some down range. These things were smoking! Clean, no feeding/ejection issues, accurate and bolt stayed open on last round after each mag.
For the money and quality, I think they will be hard to beat.
I have attached a few pics of the ammo and the gun they were shot through today (16" barrel in case anyone was wondering).
If you're looking for some .300 (they have subsonic too), you might want to give them a try.
Best,
Jim
